Dovecote Jaquinto, our jointly owned male, achieved considerable success with his progeny at the BAS Spring Show 2008 winning the Sire’s Progeny class with CME Paris taking Champion Junior Male and CME Venus Reserve Champion Junior Female and MEF Adonis placed first in the fawn junior male class. This group won the Sire’s Progeny class again at the Royal Bath & West Show 2008 with a second group coming third.

Discover Alpacas!

Our Discover Alpacas days will give you a realistic picture of what is required to look after alpacas either as field pets or as a profitable business. The day runs from 11am to 3.30pm and includes a home cooked lunch and a glass or two of wine. We walk the farm with you, look at fencing, how to provide fresh water, how to make your field layout efficient so that herd management is as simple as possible, inspect the alpacas, do a little halter training and cover the basic husbandry requirements of alpacas including worming, vaccination, toe nail clipping, shearing and common ailments. We cover breeding, birthing and nutrition. There are always fleeces for you to look at and a range of yarns made from alpacas bred in the UK. Finally we allow plenty of time to answer all your questions. Places are available on courses on August 31, September 28 and October 26 at a cost of £20 per person or £30 per double. Email rachel@alpaca-uk.co.uk or ring 01884 243579 to book.
